Samanea Gallery

Samanea Gallery is a mass timber pavilion located in Pinheiros, São Paulo, designed as the presentation space for the Samanea development. Built with glulam (glued laminated timber) structures manufactured and installed by Urbem, the project showcases how industrialized construction can combine precision, material reuse, and structural innovation.

Developed from reclaimed glulam elements, the pavilion is based on a system of timber connections that highlights the structural intelligence of wood while minimizing material waste. The result is a project that brings together engineering, architecture, and sustainability, demonstrating the potential of engineered wood to create efficient, demountable, and low-carbon structures.
